## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

zero fetch --capability kiteendpoints-ai-live-stock-price-lookup-32bd4b6d -d '<json body>'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call live stock price lookup without committing to a monthly subscription to a financial data provider. It is well-suited for AI agents that need occasional equity price checks as part of a broader workflow (e.g. portfolio summaries, conditional trade logic, or financial reporting) and are already operating within the x402/USDC micropayment ecosystem on Base chain.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns an error or empty result
- Market closed hours may return stale or last-close prices rather than live data
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) results in HTTP 402 and no data returned
- Rate limiting or upstream data provider outage may return an error response
- Malformed request body may result in a 400 or schema validation error
